Embark Campus

"Applications"

Commentaires: CSSSA's goal was to better manage student applications with the intent of making access easier for student applicants. Embark has enabled CSSSA to monitor and manage student applications effectively and efficiently. The help desk continues to be invaluable to both CSSSA and the applicants. The help desk responds in real time to applicants' technical issues and to any and all questions we have regarding filters, queries, reviewers and anything else that develops. The Embark help desk team is dedicated and passionate about their mission and work tirelessly to assist CSSSA and its applicants.

Avantages: The software is easily accessible and intuitive for staff and our applicant students. We are able to make changes to the application and requirements directly and without the assistance of Embark. The upload process is intuitive and simple. The software allows me to easily group applications and assign reviewers. The analytics available are clearly presented and extremely helpful.

Inconvénients: The ability to view uploaded portfolio materials takes more time than we would like. We are working with Embark to improve this process.

"Amazing Customer Service"

Commentaires: The best thing about Embark has been the incredible customer service. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]and her team are incredibly responsive and helpful. They are always willing to help us make changes to our application and do so very quickly!

Avantages: Switching to Embark from a google forms based application has definitely made the application process easier for us. With Recent updates its easier to make changes to our user facing application. I like being able to easily share selected applications with different reviewers.

Inconvénients: While it used to be challenging to make changes to the application with out the help of the embark team, the recent update has given us more control and allowed us to make most changes ourselves. So there are currently no "cons" for us.

"This helped us organize our many applications "

Avantages: Once an application is set up, it's super easy to use the software. We are able to save a ton of paper not printing applications as we can review online from computers and tablets, etc. It's also made the rate of completed applications increase as recommenders are invited to submit recs online (it's lessened the number of recs emailed to our office)

Inconvénients: It's a little clunky moving back and forth between the test site and the live site - which makes for some confusion. Also, adding reviewers can be cumbersome but the support team is always there to help.

"Option"

Commentaires: Removed our need of paper applications, DVDs,etc.. All hardware eliminated and now faculty, admin and such linked together better on software.

Avantages: Ease of use from one platform to another as transitioning information from Embark to Excel, word doc... etc.

Inconvénients: Hard to change order of fields when you have set up a form

Commentaires: We receive many applications from students around the world which were recruited by a large team of recruiters. This application allows us to process these applications in a short timeframe, allows us to archive the results and to keep everyone involved, informed of the progress of each application.

Avantages: Our users enjoy the flexibility and dependability of Embark. One of our users has tailored the application considerably to provide even greater convenience and time-saving use for himself our other users.

Inconvénients: So far, we have had no comments regarding any inconvenience or lack of flexibility in using the application.
